Privacy Policy

Arch Coal, Inc. is committed to protecting your
online privacy while providing you with the most
useful Web experience possible. While you can
use many features of archcoal.com anonymously,
you are required to provide personal information
to gain access to some of our content and
services.

How we collect and use personal information
We collect specific personal information in five
instances.

If you wish to contact us by e-mail using the
feature in our Investor Section, we capture
Subject, Comments, your name and e-mail. This
information is temporarily stored and then
forwarded directly to our Investor Relations
department so they can respond to your comments
or questions.

If you wish to be notified of upcoming events or
receive news items or other pertinent
information alerts, we will store your e-mail
address in a database so we can send you this
information, as it is available. Your e-mail is
not used for any other purpose.

If you ask us to send you printed material, we
collect name and address information. This
information is not stored but it is forwarded to
our Investor Relations department so they can
send out the materials.

If you register to use our Equipment Sale
section, we collect name, address, company,
e-mail, phone, and fax information as well as a
password you select. This information is stored
in a database and used to authenticate your
identity when you return to use this section of
the Site. This information is only used in
conjunction with equipment sales.

If you send us your resume in response to a job
posting, it will immediately be forwarded to our
Human Resources department and will not remain
within the Site. As with any resume we receive
by any means, we keep this information strictly
confidential and file it only as long as
necessary to meet hiring or governmental
reporting needs.

How we protect your personal information
All personal data you enter on archcoal.com is
stored in secure databases with extremely
limited access. The same state-of-the-art
security software we use to guard all of our
company's essential business data protects your
personal data as well.

In addition to using the most secure technology
available, we work tirelessly to make sure that
we use any information you provide us only in
ways you have approved. We send you only the
e-mail you have approved in your account
information.

How we use "cookies"
The Arch Coal Web site does not use cookies. Our
third-party Investor Relations and News site
provider uses cookies for usage reporting and
collects only institutional name and pages
accessed.

What we provide to third parties
This Site does not provide any third-party
access to your personal information except in
the instance where you register to be alerted by
e-mail of pertinent company information, such as
news releases and upcoming events. In this
instance, our third-party Investor Relations and
News site provider maintains the database so
they can generate the e-mail notice to you. They
maintain strict security over your personal
information and do not provide it to anyone
else.

To facilitate analysis and continuous
improvement to the Site, we may provide third
party consulting or development companies with
aggregate statistics about our users, traffic
patterns, and related site information. This
data reflects site usage patterns gathered
during many customer visits to our Web site each
month and does not contain behavioral or
identifying information about any individual
user.
